Cllr Dew Millar Chair of the Council’s Education, Children and Adult Services Committee welcomed the outcomes of the school transport policy review, he said: “This new policy will provide clarity for the council as school transport provider and also for parents and guardians whose children are directly affected by it.

He added: “I would like to thank Millburn Academy’s staff and pupils for the grass roots work that they have done on testing and reviewing a code of conduct which will be rolled out to all schools.”

Further work is being undertaken to introduce defined travel entitlement areas for Gaelic Medium and denominational education the outcomes of which will be reported back to the Education, Children and Adult Services Committee in due course.
